right after boot; black screen ... but they work...

Usually, when I boot up with all 3 monitors on, I will see the wallpaper (toolbars, etc.) on each screen. I booted up this morning -- my laptop screen had visible content on it (login screen, start page etc.). Both my external monitors were ON (not asleep), but black ... no wallpaper, no toolbar. The wallpaper & toolbar did not appear until I moved a window to each monitor.

One monitor is connected by HDMI cable. The other monitor is connected by the Sabrent/DisplayLink USB connection.

Maybe it must be a Windows 8.1 Beta thing.
